I'm making a map for Renegade and I'd like to add a key that on key press shows the players their current objectives, if I put a modified keys.ini in the mix does that work? Or is there a better way to do it?

In theory it would work, if the following assumptions were true (might not be);
1) keys.cfg is loaded using the same methods as other INI files
2) keys.cfg is read during map load and not as a one-time init thing
There's a good chance that 1 is not true (since normal files don't support saving them back out to disk at runtime, nor reading from the user data folder) and that 2 is also not true (since it has to be loaded in memory in order to populate the entries in the extended config options).
So, in all likelihood, no, it's not read per-map.

Yes, keys.cfg is read once only on startup.

Also note that sometimes various versions of the TT installer have failed (at least for myself personally) to put the default keys.cfg in the %DOCUMENTS%\Renegade\Client folder, and I don't believe that the auto-updater ever updates the keys.cfg file. Therefore, you'll randomly find some people that have no keys.cfg and therefore none of the shortcut keys, including the default "U" key ChatHistory bind and others.
Also, http://black-cell.net/keys.zip (courtesy of WhiteDragon) has a good default keys.cfg to use.

It'll generally copy the default data\keys.cfg from the install directory to the documents folder location if one doesn't already exist in the documents folder. Of course, if you don't have one in the data folder either then it has nothing to copy... but that might explain why the installer looks like it doesn't add it, if it is actually putting it in the data folder (it would be added to the documents folder the first time you edited them using the ingame editor)
